42 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Hampden

“My wife and I stopped in for some pizza yesterday and I have to say that we were very impressed with the quality and taste of the pizza there!

It's a humble looking place from the outside, but there is ample seating inside if you want to eat in. The people are friendly and the pizza was amazing! It's not thin crust. it's a thicker pie but just so good. They do not serve slices, but they do have a personal size pizza and larger sizes as well. The only thing I would change is to put a REAL menu somewhere. The paper take-out menu taped to the side of the soda cooler is in such small type that if you are over 40 good luck reading it : )

Overall we loved the pizza and we will be back. Sorry, but we ate it so fast I forgot to take pics :-)“

“Rating 5 stars as I may be a little biased since I work here, but I'm going to attempt to justify people's bad reviews. First off, the owners changed a little over a year ago, so most of the reviews on here from 1 or 2 years ago are for the old, original 'Fresh Ginger' and most likely don't apply to us now. For people claiming we have an unclean kitchen, we actually have a very clean kitchen. I myself have worked in other kitchens before and heard stories of other kitchens that are unclean, and Fresh Ginger Fusion is not one of them. We actually clean the kitchen and equipment every night. Second, we do have our lunch combos back! We got feedback from a lot of people and switched from lunch combos to dinner combos (as we're only open from 3pm to 9pm) and they have been a hit. Third, if you drive by and the parking lot is 'dead,' it's either because we are almost exclusively a takeout place (with the option to eat in,) or because you're driving by before 3pm. Lastly, we were actually voted best Chinese food in the greater Bangor area, so I personally don't understand how people can't like it.. I love it! And please, remember that mistakes do happen occasionally, but we always strive to fix things and make our customers happy. So call us up and order some of the best Chinese food around!“

“The food was amazing! Our waitress was so nice!“

“Their lobster rolls are AMAZING, huge and delicious. Their French fries and coleslaw are the best. We got ours “to go”. Everything is packed separately: lobster meat in PINT-SIZED containers, coleslaw, French fries and two rolls (there’s more than enough lobster to fill two rolls). They deserve 10 stars, but 5 stars is the limit.“

“Best beer around, amazing craft food, great prices, and best mug club offers!

Update. It has been years. Still hits every single time. Wonderful service. Crazy menu offerings at great prices. House and other brews of all kinds. Wild cocktails. Re-upped my mug club membership.“

“An awesome restaurant with a cozy atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff, and delicious food. We've gone twice now, once in the afternoon when they were dead, and once later in the evening when they were SLAMMED, and the service was phenomenal both times.“

“Great food, long wait times due to be so busy! Who knew!!! But seriously, their menu items are worth the wait! Our family has had an opportunity to try several items. From Maui breadsticks to salads to wraps to pizza’s to desserts. We loved them all! Maui breadsticks were amazing. 4 generous stuffed breadsticks with a side of marinara. We have had 12 in, 14 in pizza’s and by the slice. Toppings chosen: buffalo chicken, cheese, pepperoni with and without hot honey, perfectly baked. We also have had their Margherita pizza with minced garlic, incredible. Our family favorite is the chicken broccoli Alfredo, absolutely delicious. We have also had their turkey BLT, buffalo chicken wrap and ham Italian sandwich. They were flavorful and tasty. We have also enjoyed their grilled chicken Caesar salad as well as their garden salad, generous portions and great. And we completed our dining take out experiences with maple walnut whoopie pies…OMG!! Such goodness! If you’re in the area, and have a chance to pop in or place an order on line you will be very happy and looking forward to your next visit!“

I traveled all over country including Maui .
This place rates in top tier of all restaurants we have eaten in!!

“First time going to Geaghan's. Walked in and immediately the atmosphere was relaxed, welcoming, and pleasant. People were having fun, making it easy to enjoy our time. The staff were very easy to talk to. They were helpful, knowledgeable about their menu items, and friendly. We will definitely be making this one of the regular places to go.“

“Great service, great food and great beer! Casual ambience and a fun place for date night.“

“food was delicious. never had a bad meal there. the waitress we had today was probably one of the best ones I've had anywhere in the bangor area so kudos to her and her hard work.“

“Delicious food and friendly service!“

“My first experience at Utopia was amazing! It was NYE and they were booked solid with reservations. We got there early and they were very kind and let us use a table, which I was not expecting. It did not interfere with anyone's reservations. The food was spectacular as well as the service. I highly recommend Utopia and I love that there were lots of vegan options!!“

“Best beer in town.
I really enjoyed this cozy little nook. Great beer.
And Carrisa the beertender was a complete joy, very kind polite and generally just a very nice person. This business is fortunate to have such an employee. I'll be returning here for all my beers any time I come to Bangor.“

“Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable staff, happy to explain menu options and spice levels.“

“Good pricing with good portions fish and chips were great.“

“my first experience yesterday I got the Hawaiian pizza combo with bbq chips and a fountain Pepsi for 7.00 it was so good and yes I will be back the lady at the counter was very nice and warned me that I would be back and she was right my buddy that i work with told me it was a must try and he was definately right❤️“

“Authentic New York style homemade pizza. We didn't think we could ever find it in Maine but this is the place!!! You don't need to order extra cheese. The sauce and cheese goes all the way to the edge. The place was very busy but the staff was super nice and friendly. Best pizza in Bangor!!!!“

“Felicia is an incredible server, prompt, precise and dedicated to Geaghan's! She's very attentive each time we have her as a server. We actually request to have her! Group of 7 ordered drinks and miscellaneous food items. The food was delicious. fresh and hot. Not one single issue with the order! The checks were accurate. Will definitely be returning!“

“The food was absolutely incredible! Fish and chips came with a piece of fish that was massive and cooked to perfection! Fried cheese curds were perfect. Add to that literally the best service I've ever had at a restaurant from Melissa G. and there is no way I won't be a repeat customer for years to come! If I could give 10 stars, it still wouldn't be enough!!“

“Absolutely amazing food I have eaten that so many Chinese restaurants and this one tops them all hot food very well cooked all fresh ingredients. Very original flavors. Super friendly people. I think this is the best Chinese food I have ever had and very huge servings“

“This is a sandwich shop within the Bangor Maine airport. Ample selection- food is good. This is one of the few options for food within the small airport. No frills. No table service but friendly staff at counter while ordering. If at Bangor Airport, good to go here. Good option.“

“Best comfort food around. I have not found one item I have not liked. The food is flavorful, good portion sizes and affordable. The owner truly cares about her customers.“

“Still our favorite pizza place after 40yrs. The best of the best.“

“They say you can always tell which places are good based off the number of locals that eat there. This place is the epitome of that statement. The food was excellent. The service was friendly and fast and the restaurant had a homey feel. Will definitely eat here again!“

“Great food, great service!“

“It's my go to Chinese spot in Bangor. Different Chinese restaurants have different things that they are best at, but I find that Noodles is all around my favorite. Atmosphere is 5 points not for the dining room, which is clean and works, but because they have a drive thru window for pickups.“

“GREAT little "dive" restaurant!! VERY pleasantly surprised with Chopsticks!! I challenge everyone to try their food!!!“

“We live in Florida now, but formally we lived across the Penobscot in Brewer. I have never found Chinese food in Florida that has food as great as China Harbor! The hot and sour soup is the best I have ever had on the East coast of the US. Love this place! It is a must stop everytime we return to Maine! I don’t know what restaurant the reviewers who labelled the 3 ladies as rude were in, but it couldn’t have been the place I go! Even if it has been a year since being there they always recognize me and my family! At first I think there may have been both cultural and language barriers. But I always joke with them and compliment them and the food! If I were still going there regularly we would be great friends! Respect is a two way street!Love this place and everything about it!“

“OJ is a Bangor STAPLE! It has been there for as long as I can remember and it’s grown and changed along with the times, I wish they would open their buffet back up…. But if you want the best chinese food and best service, this is the place to go!“

“The food, service, and atmosphere were great. It may be an little hard to tell at times if it's open, but worth driving in to check or just look online. The portions are big. We always have enough left for the next days lunch. It's a fun place to go if you have company and just don't feel like doing the cooking. 🙂“

“Since the tap room in Orono closed, this is the new best Pat's Pizza. The staff is super friendly and competent. The food is wonderful. The prices are good, and the wait times are surprisingly short. Just wow

Parking: Huge lot

Kid-friendliness: Definitely bring the kids“

“Love the people there!!! They are always kind and welcoming!!!! 😉.“

“Everything was perfect, love this place!“

“Love that they have an all Day Breakfast, and they’re good, too. I had the Farmers Breakfast in a bowl (scrambled eggs with peppers, potatos, sausage, cheese etc.) which was very good and filling. Nice fresh fruit available, too. Excellent service in their extension cafe just past security. The young man employee was friendly and pleasant with customers, was ordering replenishments, and sanitizing tables....didn’t get his name but he’s to be commended (he was working at 1:00 pm on Friday, 26 July).“

“From Texas With Love!
Wife and I read the reviews. Then tried it for ourselves.. Pot roast was Good, Super Tender, homemade gravy, Mashed "taters" and the Chicken pot pie was Awesome As well. Full of chicken, flakey and the cranberry sauce was a nice touch along with the homemade rolls. $40 bucks out the door...! Thats abig ten 4,We will be back.
We also have noticed that when a place is full of locals; you know you're in the right spot..
Beans were good also. And definitely home made..“

“At Uno's in Bangor, ME yesterday (04/15/25)....My husband doesn't like the chunky sauce and likes the sauce on the bottom....my exact order was marina sauce (not chunky) and sauce on the bottom, no sauce on the top like a regular pizza ....my order WAS repeated back to me correctly. Great, see you in 25 minutes. How'd they do?? Sauce all over the top....it was marina but I specifically asked for the sauce to be on the bottom. Even the tag in the pizza box was correct. When I called them to complain as this is the SECOND time this has happened (first time we didn't call) the manager (who also made this pizza) made all kinds of excuses, this is how we do it, we don't make them with no sauce on the top, try calling in your order next time vs doing it online (this was a call in order not online), maybe explain it better next time, maybe tell them you want it made in the reverse order.... In the end, we still have this pizza, not guaranteed a refund and they've lost us as a customer!! $51 plus a $5 tip for this pizza & a gluten free. I just checked my bank account and I'm not seeing a charge yet so maybe she did refund after we hung up but not sure yet. Very poor customer service, especially by the manager!!“

“My husband found this restaurant about18 years ago. We love going everything. The are always refreshing the food.

Parking: Easy and plenty of parking.

Kid-friendliness: Love watching the little ones' eyes, always happy.“

“We've eaten from Chinese restaurants across Canada and the New England states over the past couple of weeks. The food here was the best so far. Not as good as expensive restaurants, but good for takeout and the price.Note: This is a strictly take out or delivery place. No tables available inside.“

“Excellent good, quality and customer service.“
